Lisa President Trump set for another day of high profile meetings at the g20 summit in japan, most notably with chinese president xi jinping. The president pushing for a trade deal that ends billions in chinese intellectual property theft. For more, we turn to chief White House Correspondent john roberts. Reporter lisa, good morning from osaka. The top trade negotiators for the United States and china huddled last night in a meeting trying to lay the groundwork for what they hope will be a successful summit today. President trumps meeting with chinese leader xi jinping should determine whether trade talks with china get back on track n. A bilateral meeting with brazils president , President Trump building the anticipation. Well see what happens. Itll be an exciting day. A lot of people are talking about, and its very interesting, and its going to come out, hopefully, well for both countries. And, ultimately, it will work out. Reporter chinese officials have been setting expectations for the meeting, telling fox news that china will not make any concessions on trade unless and until all u. S. Tariffs are lifted. China also wants restrictions against Telecom Giant huawei removed early in any new negotiation. [speaking in native tongue] translator we hope that the u. S. Can meet china halfway and Work Together with us to promote a positive result of the meeting. This is in the interest of both countries and also meets the common expectation of the international community. Reporter chinese officials also told fox news that President Trump has promised to hold off on any new tariffs for six months as a show of goodwill. Not so, said the president. No, i havent promised, no. Good question. No. Reporter in his bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin, President Trump again provoked controversy. When asked if he would speak with putin about meddling in the upcoming u. S. Elections. [inaudible] dont meddle putin also put President Trump in a bit of a difficult spot in the bilateral meeting, inviting the president to moscow next may to mark the 75th anniversary of the allied victory in world war ii. The white house was noncommittal. In a statement saying the president believes its important to commemorate the allied troops who lost their lives in world war ii, as he said in june during the dday events in the u. K. And normandy, but he has not confirmed participation. Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of world war ii would seem to be a natural for a u. S. President. But in the height of what will be a very contentious election year, having a photo with President Trump Standing Shoulder to shoulder with Vladimir Putin in moscow may be something that the Trump Campaign would rather avoid. Lisa . Lisa thank you, john. And joining me now is gordon chang, columnist, author and senior fellow at the keystone institute. Gordon, obviously, you are a great person to have here right now. China says no new concessions until we suspend all tariffs on chinese imports. Where does that leave us . It leaves us with basically no agreement because what the chinese have been doing and theyve been doing this since the end of may is this consistent campaign of putting out in public what their negotiating conditions are, and those conditions are completely unacceptable to anybody in america. So, essentially, what theyre saying to trump is, look, youre going to have to ca pitch late. Its either that or the chinese ruler doesnt want to deal. I dont know what it is, but nonetheless, it means no deal. Lisa what incentives does china have to strike a deal . Right now theyve got a economy thats really, really low. Theyve got people who are wont to leave, and theres a lack of confidence in the leadership with all of this. So xi jinping has a lot of incentive. But on the Political Considerations though, since he started the trade war, hes got to win it which means he can make no concessions, which means whats good for china is not good for xi jinping. Lisa how much pressure do you think chinese leadership is feeling . I think theyre feeling quite a lot now, because xi jinping has basically started this trade war. He is being blamed for losing america, and hes being blamed for a very bad economy which is in part due to his state domination, state domination policies where he wants the state to take over from the private sector and from foreign companies. And that really means that this is his bad economy. Hes got to fix this, and so, you know, at this particular time theres no way out for him. Lisa so do you think chinas looking at the fact that President Trumps got a 2020 election coming up . Do you think theyre trying to wait that out and see what happens with the election . You know, xi jinping might try to do that, but thats not very smart strategy for him lisa why not . Because the longer this drags on, the more uncertainty there is. The more uncertainty, companies are going to leave china. They can, you know, figure out where they can be with 5 tariffs or 25 tariffs or whatever, but they cant wait out the uncertainty which means unemployment in china as these businesses leave. Now, of course, apple has gone the other way. Theyre just about to shift production of their mac pro from austin, texas, to shanghai. But apart from apple, you know, you see most Companies Moving out. Lisa is so theres also a report that chinese exporters are routeing through vietnam to avoid tariffs. What do you think President Trump should do about that . Clearly, what we should be doing is putting very big tariffs on vietnam lisa think he will . Yeah, i think he will. And i also think, you know, hes been working with the vietnamese authorities to prevent this rerouteing, because this is not new. Chinas done this years and years and years in the past, its just that now theyre doing it more. So well fix this problem. And, you know, at the present time its just its one day after the next, youve got to just work with vietnam, and youve got to threaten them. Lisa huaweis become a Sticking Point in these discussions as well. You look at chinese law, it literally requires entities and individuals to help the Chinese Government and spy. Is Huawei A Trojan horse . Certainly, it is. Youre referring to that 2017 National Intelligence law lisa tell the viewers a little bit about that. Article 714 of that law requires every chinese individual and entity e to spy for beijing if demanded. And clearly, beijing demands all the time. So, you know, weve seen huawei spy on the African Union for five years. They were downloading data every night through huaweis servers that were supplied by china, and weve seen all these reports especially in the last three or four weeks talking about all the back doors and all the problems in huaweis software. So clearly, huawei is a trojan horse. It is a threat to American National security and the National Security of our friends and partners. Lisa so President Trump is saying that he is willing to meet kim jong un on the dmz. Should he meet with him . Absolutely not. Unless lisa why not . Hes willing to do two things, to provide a declaration of all of his missile and nuke facilitieses and a firm timetable for giving them up. Weve had too many discussions with kim jong un now since june of last year. You know, this time that the North Koreans either put up or shut up, and clearly theyre moving in the wrong direction. Lisa and so real quick on that, President Trump has basically, you know, two options for the North Koreans, right . He can either choose you can choose a better Economic Future or, essentially, keeping your Nuclear Weapons and not denuclearizing, correct . So, you know, which option do you think theyre going to choose . Are they incentivized to try to choose the better Economic Future, or do they believe that the only way kim jong un holds power is to keep their Nuclear Weapons . Yeah. We have not forced the North Koreans to make that choice, to keep weapons or keep power. And definitely should. And we should start vigorously enforcing the sanction against the North Koreans, the russians, the chinese and the south koreans who have been openly violating sanctions in recent months. This is on us. We enforce those sanctions, we have some political will, north koreas got no choice but to give it up, and we can do this without the use of force. Lisa well, gordon, i am so glad you were here. Thank you so much, appreciate your time. Thanks. Lisa thank you. All right, wed like to hear your thoughts on all of this, so please share your comments and follow lou on twitter loudobbs like him on facebook and follow him on instagram alt lou dobbs tonight. And up next, delusional dems arent too happy with the booming trump economy. Listen to this. Frankly, this economy is not working for working people. We know that not everyone is sharing in this prosperity. This economy is not working for average americans. This economy has got to work for everyone. Lisa is so were going to get into that later. Plus, more wacky liberal policy on dismay in california. Sure thats not too shocking, as they try a not so new way of dealing with their homeless crisis. Well have all of that and more after these quick messages. Please stay with us. When crabe stronger. Strong, with new nicorette coated ice mint. Layered with flavor.

Were the tenneys and were usaa members for life. Call usaa to start saving on insurance today. Lisa the White House Council of econc advisers today releasing a new report that cuts into the dems baseless argument that the president s economy isnt working for everybody. The report finding that over the next 510 years, the president s deregulation and progrowth economic policies will raise incomes by more than 3,000. The report also finding that deregulatory actions will save consumers 220 billion per year. President trump weighing in on two of the dems 2020 hopefuls while in osaka. He tweeted, quote, i am in japan at the g20 representing our country well, but i heard it was not a good day for sleepy joe or crazy bernie. One is exhausted and the other is nuts, so whats the big deal . Is just last week the president said sanders looks like hes had it, and biden doesnt do any work. Joining me now to talk about all this stuff of is mark lotter, director of Strategic Communications for the trump 2020 campaign and former press secretary to Vice President pence. So, marc, i want to ask you, what are the talking points that weve seen from democrats over the past two nights is the economys not working for everyone, that its the rich who are the beneficiaries of President Trumps policies. Whats your response to that . Its just the politics of division that democrats often may, and its an absolute lie. 82 of middle class americans got a tax cut because of the president s tax cut plan. The average is about 1200 a year. 90 of americans saw their paychecks go up because of the tax cut law. So when you see the democrats saying these things, it just flies in the face of the facts and reality, and theyre asking the American People to ignore what they see with their own eyes. Help wanted signs everywhere, more jobs than there are unemployed people, and they just dont buy it. Lisa so some of the democrats were even calling about repealing President Trumps tax cut. Do you think President Trump can use that to his advantage in going after whoever the eventual nominee is . Absolutely, because this is something that directly impacts the Household Finances of every american out there. On day one these candidates are saying theyre going to raise your taxes. Theyre going to take money out of your pocket. And its all of their other if all of their other social dreams come true, theyre going to take a lot of money. This is the way people have to start viewing these things, not just fancy pipe dreams about socialized medicine and all these other things. Its actually going to take money out of your paycheck. Lisa its not just socialized medicine for americans. We had democrats talking about giving health care to Illegal Immigrants, and i want to pull up the New York Post, im sure you saw the cover. Do we have a screen shot of that . It says who wants to lose the election. You see the democrats in the background raising their hands when asked if they would give health care to Illegal Immigrants. I mean, marc, youve worked in politics, obviously, how does this play in michigan . Well, and i said in this when i was down in miami earlier this week for the debate. Every time the democrats talked policy, President Trump won. President trump was the big winner of the democrat debate because youve seen it over and over again, there were some tweets about it today, there are democrats out there going i dont even recognize the party anymore. They see the growth and success under the president , and they see these radical proposals from the democrats. Its really, its going to come down to a choice, and theyre making it very easy for the American People to choose President Trump. Lisa you know, looking at the candidates over the last two nights, i mean, is there anyone you see on the stage that looks remotely competitive against President Trump . Oh, i dont think any of them with the policies that they are enforcing lisa what about from a purely political not necessarily the policies, but do you see anyone who appears to be a strong candidate . Well, you see the politicians rising and falling. Obviously, joe biden is falling right now. Kamala harris, Elizabeth Warren are on the rise, but thats the way these processes work out. But regardless, whoevers out of their whoever comes out of their primary, they will face President Trump, and theyll have to endorse proposals like Free Health Care for immigrants, open borders, the green new deal, all of tax increases, all of these things which just will not sell to American People. The president on a few occasions has said he wants to face the former Vice President , but i dont know if the electorates going to set that one up the way things went last night. We dont know, but from the campaigns perspective, we do look at them all the same. Lisa marc, Vice President joe biden faced some attacks last night. How impactful do you think they were for his long jeffty as a candidate longevity as a candidate in the democrat primary . You know, the polls will start to shake out in the next couple of weeks. I even saw the Washington Post of all places said the Democrat Field is now scrambled, and i think thats absolutely true. What we saw was a complete scrambling of what people thought were the leading candidates and the rising candidates, and the first vote is going to be cast in about seven months. We wont even know who the nominee is for another year. Meanwhile, the president s going to do his job just like he is meeting with the president of china here in a few hours. Hes going to continue to do those things that benefit americans, and theyll fight this out on their side. And whoever wins gets to take on president bush. Lisa thanks, marc. I mean, that is something to keep in mind, we are so far out from the Iowa Caucuses and so far out from the general election, so a lot of time. Marc, thanks for being with us tonight, appreciate it. Thanks for having me, lisa. Lisa in california officials throwing more money on a plan to fight the growing homeless problem.
